[QUOTE="jopar, post: 115952, member: 11712"] I would suggest that they have more than a slight advantage, if you look at past research and long term costing you will find that long term use has the protential of saving over £20,000 compared to injections.. With savings being made, as the diabetic suffer less complications so requires less treatment of complications... Eyes alone pumps can reduce complications by over 70% if I remeber rightly.. Then you've got the short term saving of less admittence to hospital (DKA/Hypo) one night in hospital costs at the last time I looked £320 just for the bed space, no medication cost involved... I had a snigger reading the article, when it said that pumps reduced painful injections, even though pre pump I injected 5-9 times aday, I wouldn't say that they were painful... Pain in the butt getting your injection kit out and faffing around with injecting but no phsyical pain.. [/QUOTE]
